HP Open Source Middleware Stacks Blueprint: LAMP Architecture on HP ProLiant BladeSystem Servers on RHEL

The following is an example for configuring per-user web directories:

1. Add a user named tester to your server by entering the following commands:

# useradd tester

# mkdir /home/tester/public_html

# chmod 755 /home/tester/public_html

2. Create an HTML file named /home/tester/public_html/index.html that contains

the following lines:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

</HEAD>

This is personal homepage of user tester .

</BODY>

</HTML>

3. Edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and comment out the following line, if it

exists:

UserDir disable

Then, add the following lines:

UserDir enabled tester

UserDir public_html

4. Restart your Apache HTTP server for the changes to take effect.

5. Verify that the per-user web directory configuration was successful by opening a browser

and entering the following website:

http://<YOUR_WEB_SERVER_IP>/~tester

The following message appears:

This is personal homepage of user tester.

# rpm –qa|grep –i mysql

2. Start the MySQL database and verify the daemon is started by entering the following

commands:

# /etc/init.d/mysql start

# ps –ef|grep mysqld

Integrating Apache HTTP Server with PHP and MySQL

Use the following procedure to configure PHP and MySQL:

1. Verify that the necessary PHP packages are installed by entering the following command:

# rpm –q php php-pdo php-mysql

If any of these packages are not installed, locate the RPM package on the Linux distribution

media and install them.
